Front/rear sight combo replaces a 1911 Auto's issue sights with a minimum of hassle. Blade overhangs the back of the slide for fast pick-up. Corners and edges are rounded. Mounts in factory dovetail.Good Sight Set-Up, Good value 01/02/2018
Used to replace the factory sights on a vintage Colt Series 70. Required a bit of careful, gradual filing to precisely fit the rear sight to the factory dovetail but it wasn't too daunting a task. certainly it's not beyond the skills of anyone who can effectively stake the tenon front sight. The front blade was a perfect fit and staking went quickly and smoothly. The sights present an excellent, fast-to-acquire aiming picture and have proven very accurate. The matte black (phosphate? Parkerized?) finish goes well with most any finish, including bright or matte blue, Roguard type applications, and Cerakote.

I was looking for the best priced replacement sights to rid myself of the low-pro GI style sights on my RIA 1911. This is about as inexpensive as it gets. These are not, in any way, low profile or no snag sights. They sit high, but the sight picture is good for the price. The sights shoot POA/POI elevation-wise, and obviously windage is on you to get right when you adjust the rear sight.
The front sight staked on as it should, as expected. The rear sight will likely require you to file some metal off the bottom of the blade. I had to remove about .08" and bevel the inside of the blade surface so it cleared the rear of the slide. Also the dovetail was a little big for the joint, even after throwing it in the freezer to shrink it for starting it. Had to file a fair amount off that, but I won't complain about it because for all I know my joint was cut non-standard. A little cold-bluing where I had to file for fitting and it looks pretty good. All in all, modifying the rear sight to fit right shouldn't be too big of a task for someone willing to stake on a front sight in the first place. I think it's a great value.
One last thing, the finish looks to be a phosphate finish akin to parkerizing. I don't think it would look right on a blued pistol.
